A delicious combination of our favourite varieties of lettuce. Have the salad mix how it is, dress it with vinegar, or add mushrooms, tomatoes and onions!

How do we make sure we provide top quality salad mix?

We check that the lettuce leaves crisp and turgid and full in colour. We also make sure the lettuce is free of any signs of decay (usually manifesting as decomposition patches on the skin) and that there are no yellow or wilting leaves.

Where do we source our salad mix from?

We usually source our salad mix lettuce from experienced growers around the Bacchus Marsh region.

What is the best way to keep salad mix?

Lettuce keeps best in an airtight plastic bag in the fridge (optimal storage conditions are at 0°C and 95% relative humidity). Freeze damage will occur if the lettuce is stored below minus 0.2°C (meaning the lettuce will decay rapidly when returned to room temperature), so make sure your fridge is set at the right temperature. It's also a good idea to store lettuce away from fruit - fruit emits ethylene gas, which will result in speedier lettuce decay (over-exposure to ethylene commonly results in a disease known as 'russet spotting', which is manifested as brown pigmentation in the lettuce leaves).

Serving tips and suggestions
